What to expect
Your driver collects you from London at 9am and handles all driving along the Thames Valley. At Windsor, you'll have freedom to explore the castle interior and grounds independently—no guided script, just you discovering its Norman architecture and State Rooms. After Windsor, you'll travel to Hampton Court, where Tudor red brick meets Baroque additions. Spend time wandering the famous maze, spotting the working real tennis courts, and admiring the sprawling kitchen gardens. The palace closure for state events is rare but possible; check ahead. You return to London by 7pm.
Good to know
Castle and palace admission fees are not included—budget accordingly. Lunch is on you; the Thames Valley has pubs and cafés. The vehicle is equipped with sanitised seating, masks, and hand gel. Moderate fitness needed for palace exploration. Prams fit; infant car seats available.
